Integrated Fault-Tolerant Stabilization Control for Satellite Attitude Systems with Actuator and Sensor Faults

摘要

In this paper, the problem of integrated fault-tolerant stabilization control is studied for the attitude systems of a rigid satellite with both actuator and sensor faults. Firstly, a virtual observer is designed for the faulty attitude systems of rigid satellite in order to estimate the unknown actuator and sensor faults. Because the virtual observer includes unmeasurable information of the attitude systems, the real observer is then presented. On this basis, an integral sliding-mode fault-tolerant stabilization control approach is proposed by using the estimated fault information, and it not only suppresses the disturbance with a disturbance attenuation level y, but also eliminates the effects of actuator and sensor faults. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed fault-tolerant stabilization scheme is demonstrated in the attitude systems of a rigid satellite subject to the time-varying actuator and sensor faults.
